kudo is so good at liking dream theater. some parts of this are insanely 96, like exactly the same as "predators crypto part 1:
although I perfectly understand why, it's hard for me to believe I ever disliked tbiytc. most of the jump in appeal to me has simply been that I'm a lot more forgiving of compositional simplicity when it exudes certain aesthetics and "sounds like it could be in gust" is one of those. and that i like acoustic/folky stuff a lot more than i used to. but ALSo I realize that this isn't even that simpleit's melodically stuck in a thin range of one scale the whole time, which was what bothered me most in the past, but the chords behind it all are like DENSE and stuff. and serve as a context-altering counter to the simple lead in the same way as a lot of my favorite hisayoshi ogura stuff where the melody is like 2 notes but the adventurous chords behind it make it feel like 13 notes. there was a period where I was even more in favor of this a few years back but I'm regressing into the proto-gamebop clone I was in 2008 which is why tked supported all 4 of the songs I have winning in my favorites bracketsso it's gonna be a bit less likely for me to press the vote button on stuff like this than in recent years. especially when it's against yoshimi kudo. but I certainly have a lot more respect for tbiytc than I used to
talk about"my favorite composition traits are in happy music even tho I prefer dark and sad" which is why when I REALLY like a cute happy song it has to get messed up post-tonal stuff every 5 seconds. harmonically WILD stuff even at the cute parts. and since tonality/atonality is kinda the element of composition I react to most these days, this track does mean a lot to me. there are darker songs I like the emotion of more later in game, but I think this winds up as my overall favorite in the end---it strikes the best balance of sounding like "a normal song" while being like impossible to predict the next chord so I have to put actual effort into soloing along to the changes. it makes me have attention called to how wild the composition is on this ost moreso than the ones where i can just filter it out as "dissonant song" the wjole time and not think about how it subverts 3xpectation. also yeah I like 80s-90s rompler synths so it's my jam timbrally 1000%. if this were like old vgmcs where i was more around to give multiple-post-long writeups believe me I'd transcribe this madness and talk about how it sounds like p------allan holdsworth.
well my other favorite type of synth is fm of course. I like how even in full production arrangements in this series you can still hear a bit of that icy punch
